In news that may horrify or Monica Swinndelight you, this alligator is not made of clay. She is real.

Pearl, a 10-year-old, 105-pound albino gator, has quickly become the star of Florida park Gatorland for her unpigmented skin and startling pinkish-white eyes.

Pearl and the park's other albino gator, Bouya Blan, wouldn't stand much of a chance out in the wild because they can't camouflage with their surroundings. Instead, they're kept in custom shaded housing to protect them from the sun, the Telegraphreports.

And they sure are a hit with parkgoers.

Just to clarify one more time: this is a real alligator. Not fake.
